Morning sun touched gently on [F] the eyes of [C] Lucy Joy
In a white suburban bedroom, [G] in a white suburban town
As [C] she lay there, neat the covers, [F] dreaming of a [C] thousand lovers
[G] Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning [C] round
At [F] the age of thirty-seven, she realised she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car with the warm [G] wind in her hair
So she [Em] let the phone keep ringing [D] and she sat there softly singing
[G] Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised in [F] her daddy's [C] easy chair
Her husband, he was off to work [F] and the kids were off to [C] school
And there were oh so many ways [G] for her to spend her day
She could [C] clean the house for hours, or [F] rearrange the flowers
[G] Or run naked through the shady street
Screaming at [C] [F] the age of thirty-seven, [C] she realised she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car with the [G] warm wind in her hair
So she [Em] let the phone keep ringing [D] and she sat there [Em] softly singing
[G] Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised [F] in her daddy's [C] easy chair
The evening sun touched lightly on [F] the eyes of Lucy Joy
She sat alone on the rooftop where she collided when all the laughter [G] grew too loud
And she bowed and curtsied to the man [F] who reached and [C] offered her his [G] hand
And he led her down to the long white car that waited [C] past the crowd
At the age [G] of thirty-seven, she [Em] knew she'd found forever
[C] As she rode along through Paris with the warm [G] wind in her [G] hair

In a white suburban bedroom, [G] in a white suburban town
